Lineage

The Dependency Lineage in Inventory shows how BI assets are connected.

It answers:

  • What does this asset depend on? (upstream)

  • What depends on this asset? (downstream)

This gives you a complete view of data flow, from source → model → report → dashboard.

With Dependency Lineage, Datalogz has introduced the first steps towards operational lineage, which is a feature on the roadmap for later this year.

Why Dependency Lineage Matters

Without lineage:

  • You can’t see impact before making changes

  • Broken reports are hard to trace

  • Cleanup is risky

With lineage, you can:

  • Understand BI dependencies instantly

  • Identify high-impact assets

  • Safely modify or delete content

  • Detect redundant or unused chains

Lineage is foundational for governance and cleanup.

Where to Find Lineage

  1. Open Inventory

  2. Select any asset (report, dashboard, semantic model)

  3. Navigate to the Lineage tab
